An English Premier League football club Brighton & Hove FC has confirmed the recall of South Africa’s international footballer Percy Tau after being away from the team on a loan.
The club announced through a press statement that the 26 year old forward player joined the club in 2018 and has spent the last two-and-a-half years on loan in Belgium.
“After a season with Brussels-based club Royal Union Saint-Gilloise, Tau moved to Bruges last season and helped them win the league title and played in the Champions League.”
“Tau linked up with Anderlecht, who are managed by former Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany, last August and has scored four goals in 15 games this season.”
“Albion have received a Governing Body Endorsement, the new points-based system for non-English players which came into force last week when the transition period following the UK’s exit from the European Union ended, from the FA for Tau.”
Head coach Graham Potter said, “We’re pleased to be able to welcome Percy to the club and begin working with him. I know he’s a player whose progress many of our fans have followed in recent seasons.
